I love my Oak printed Bays, and as Elvis already wrote, it is a very sturdy and gorgeous bag, and the print is not only stunning, it needs very little babying except for the Collonil spray

Here is mine! SHe still looks as new

Enjoy your hols

Thank you Elvis! This is just what I need to hear! I want a bag that I can really 'wear in' rather than one I am terrified to carry (as I was with the silky snake).
Really want to go and get it immediately but I think it will be something nice to look forward to when I have the post holiday blues!
Watch this space....

Gorgeous bag Loveheart! Thanks for posting a pic! I had really never considered printed leather before they brought out the Alexa in it, but seeing everyone's gorgeous examples has only made me realise what a good choice it is, especially in the oak!
